sIoUy CITY WANTS 1T.
Parties from down the river Say that
Sioux City Is now streaming every nerve,
muscle and dollar todivert the Manitoba
from its course and turn it into Sioux
City. 1t would be an important line to
Sioux City.
THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL.
\ Nothing has recently been heard from
the Illinois Central surveyors, excepting
that they are prosecuting their work
with all possible vigor on both the Yank.
ton and Sioux Fails lines. Some OF the
illinois Central officials are purchasing
property in Sioux Falls.
MERELY RuMoRs.
Yankton correspondent of the Sioux
City Journal sends that paper the fol-
lowing:
1t is announced that Horace Tucker
and other officers of the Illinois Central
| railroad will be in Yankton within a day
or two. Their business here is in the in-
terest OF the line to be built from LIE
| Mars to Yankton. 1t is also rumored
that gentlemen high up in the Manitoba
organization will soon place themselves
in position to see the Missouri river st
Yankton.
YANKToN AND MR.. YOUNG.
Omaha Republican,, 20: Yesterday,
Secretary Nattinger, of the Omaha board
OF trade, received q letter from parties
in Yapkton, informing him that ii an
Omaha company cannot be organized
| to build the proposed Omaha and YAM.
ton railroad, the Omaha and South
western corporation would like mighty
we'll to haye a chance at 1T. This letter
rather intlmates that the people OF Yark.
ton are growing somewhat impatient at
the slowness manifested by Omaha in
| the matter, and threaten to do ONE
| thing desperate. They want an Omaha
company to build the road, but have no
intention of waiting two or three years
longer. MIR. Young, who has been east,
IS expected home to-day.
THE MANITOBA.
Sioux Falls Press: Some time ago
IN speaking OF the Duluth road The
Press pointed out that the probabilities
| were in favor of an ultimate extension
to connect with the Central Pacific sys-
tenn. AS was shown at the time there
are several reasons for this belief. In
the first place it is entirely unlikely that
the Manitoba would leave An extension
OF such length and of SO great a cost
with its end in the air, SO TO speak, as
would be the case were either Sioux
Falls or Yankton made the terminus.
In the second place as the Manitoba is
on the warpath after the Northwestern,
nothing would be more natural than
that it should attempt to cripple this
great road in the latter's extension to
the Pacific road.
These two considerations furnish very
good grounds for believing that the in
tention of the Duluth is not to stop
either at Sioux Falls or at Yapkton but
to push on to the southwest until q con-
nection is made with the Paclfio system
Sioux City Journal: The st. Paul dis
patch revives the story that j. j. Hill is
working for q line from st. Paul to Dem
yer. At a convention of Duluth st. Cloud
Mankato and southeastern people at the
Merchants hotel e few days ago, Senator
buchanan made q remark to the above
effect. Subsequently questioned he said
he did not wish to convey the meaning
that MIR, Hill was going TO build q direct
line to Denver, but that his proposed
southwestern extension would form such
connection. Further inquiry brings forth
the following statement from a promin-
emit st. Paul railroad man; "HilIs Hell
ena extension is only the north arm Q,
lone of the greatest systems of transpor
tation ever planned. The next line tina
Mr.. Hill will contract will III from st
Paul to Denver, with a brarch to the
Black Hills. At first glance this woulG
look TO be fool. hardy, but upon looking
4 at the map one can see that such q rail
road would pass through a very produo'
tice country, which wall supply q large
local traffic. 1t also crosses diagonaIly
some four or five east and west tgunH
lines over which connections will be
made between st. Paul jobbers and
manufacturers and the far western cor
sumner, at o great advantage to the CON
sumner over dealing with Chicago. Ami
cable traffic arrangements can be made
with those lines by appealing to the
Interstate commerce commission, to pre-

} diagonal line and st. Paul. You may
also have heard that the Union Pacific
has cut loose from the combination witt
the Central Pacific, which now must fine
a new eastern ally. Well, that new
ally will be the Chicago and North
western, which is rushing toward Ogdel

onal, with the heavy PERCENTAGE of bust
ness going to Hill. The latter has I'M
equaled Lake Superior terminal facili
ties, and can give the Central Pacih
